500 Bouncy Balls

My dad is a member of a bouncy ball club. When I asked him why he was carrying around a little red ball with him everywhere he told me about the club that he and his friends started. I replied first with an emphatic “are you serious?” but then wanted to know everything about it. He called up his friend in Ohio and had him confirm his membership to me.

Now, I have my own club, a Florida chapter you could say. I inducted about 15 students at the mall a few weeks ago–at a bouncy ball machine, where else?

Our club is growing exponentially and students are inducting their friends now.

Today I arrived at work to find about 500 bouncy balls that mysteriously appeared overnight (I was here all night and only went home to sleep). They are everywhere. Someone planted them and they are saturating every corner of my space. The perpetrator even went as far as putting bouncy balls between the pages of my Bible. Someone obviously loves me very much.

P.S. I am currently on bouncy ball probation because I didn’t have my ball with me on numerous occassions this week when other members were around. The rules are sacred–so I’m out for a week.

Ha ha! I just ran across this on google… I have purchased over 4,000 bouncy balls in the last year, i live in a loft in Downtown Springfield, MO and the entertainment for me (and everyone else) is unreal! I actually just ordered more (hence hte searching on google), but FYI the best way to get bouncy balls is through ebay:

get the 27mm/1″ balls, premium, because the other ones really do break apart way to easily. after shipping, you should be around 7c per ball. Do a search for “250 27mm” or “500 27mm” etc…

OR

you can do a search for “rubber balls” and sometimes you’ll find a guy who sells a box of various sized rubber balls in a box for slingshots for $30 shipped… and with these you can take HANDFULS of balls and throw them for loads of fun. They don’t bounce AS well, but they do bounce! Plus its tons fo fun for kids… esp in a gym! Just close all the doors and throw them!

ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE PEOPLE: I have a very large catholic school and a YMCA on both sides of me, so there are hundreds of kids that traverse the 1,000 feet i hold between the two locations, and while i don’t throw them out for the kids because of traffic, they willl pick the sidewalks/curbs CLEAN the next day after a night of fun!

LASTLY… I’d like to actually start a club/chapter here in spfd and would love to pick his brain! ESp if they have a set of rules or something… have your dad get a hold of me or post here how to get ahold of him 🙂
